If you just want syntax hilighting for both PHP and {X}HTML, etc. then
you can use Notepad++, which will highlight and color the code as long
as it is properly closed, i.e. tags closed, semicolons, etc.
If it isn't then it treats the code as plain text with no highlighting
at all, which gives you a warning that something is wrong, kind of a
debugger.
